i just have to ask if there is any way to write exponential functions in picbasic or pic basic pro.
If anyone has any idea please let me know

thanks

Where there is a will, there is a way....

What does your function look like?

Hi,

There's no SPECIFIC PbP function, but ...

The SEARCH function could have given ... 7 Hits ...

Then again...none of those 7 hits are worth anything. So maybe the question was valid after all...
A 6 pack says the exponential function needed also wants to be able to use floating point...(SIGH again)

Taylor's series then ... and not to be in a hurry !!!

oh, may be we could think to Micromega's co-processors ...

Here's a collection of different ways to compute logarithms

Here's an 8-bit logarithm algorithm that executes between 15 and 103 cycles. This version is based on a table look-up plus first order interpolation

Maybe of interest
